    About this ebook

    Positivity is a state of mind. This book is tailor-made to show you how to overcome a negative mindset and replace it with a positive mindset. It unveils this in an easy to understand and easy to implement way. It calls for a unique drive to have eyes that can see and ears that can hear, revealing the dynamics of what we should speak and what we should not.

    Words can destroy or build, so the book unfolds the correct way of speaking words of life and hope rather than words of doom as well as how to react to situations of negativity in order to become positive today and forever. After all, man was made to be positive so we should all strive to be fruitful in actions and deeds.

      Introduction

      The word positive implies affirmation, agreement or consenting to a statement. In sadness, you become happy, in death and bereavement, inside of your heart springs forth laughter, in pain, you beam with delight. In sorrows and disgust, you embrace hope and where there is no way at all, you speak of a way in the wilderness and of rivers in the desert.

      In barrenness, you speak life, a fountain of life and the birth of a new soul and a new beginning.

      How to always be positive in life and live again and again introduces you to self-motivational ingredients to help you overcome permanently the negative forces of this dark world.

      Acknowledgement

      I acknowledge the presence of influential people in my life, the colleagues in many schools I have taught at, men and women who were positive in life, positive in their manner of handling issues, and their positive approach towards the fulfilment of their dreams.

      I have learnt positive aspects of life from people, politicians, religious leaders and ordinary members of society. I personally believe that there is a lesson to be learned in defeat and thorough self-introspection following rejection. I have these words to say to any man who always talks and dreams negatively: Unless you become positive yourself, the road ahead looks very gloomy.

      Dedication

      I wish to dedicate this book to Prophet Musa Baloyi of Fire Cathedral in section F. Giyani, who prayed for me on a number of occasions, so that my writings would not become stagnant, but flourish.

      I also wish to convey a special dedication to the circuit manager of Klein-letaba in Giyani, Ms Koundy Machumele and her entire staff for their warmth and positive influence upon my life during my stay and work with them. May God always be influential and directive in their lives.

      To my spiritual parents, my family and the extended family and friends and to the Maledza-Zinjhiva Tobyayila clan, be positive always and live again and again.

      Chapter 1

      Becoming Positive In Negativity

      There is only one solution to always stay positive, which is to overcome negative thoughts that threaten the happiness, progress and hope in the lives of many people. The question then is, how does a person become positive in a world of negativity?

      If you look around, you see people with long faces clouded in anger, frustration, bitterness, sadness, worry, dejection, and grief. The following day when you walk past these people on street corners, and in the malls doing their shopping, you see tearful eyes and sorrow written all over their faces. Why are some people living in the past and why have they chosen the negative route?

      Alternatively, there are those who walk around wearing smiles and flashing faces of happiness. They have discovered the secret of positivity and happiness. Another secret is, if you bring happiness to others, you become happy yourself.

      A man looks through the window of his house. He sees a neighbour leaving his house in a luxury car. He looks at the neighbour’s house and thinks about how beautiful it is. He closes the window and throws himself on the couch. He begins to think. As he does so, his subconscious mind absorbs the negative forces to come. He begins to absorb the negative forces in his mind. The negative forces tell him to dislike what his neighbour has, which then
